 Rating:  - Useful book, but a bit basicI think this could be a useful book for someone new to parrots. For me, much of the information was rather basic and much of it readily available online.

The text is well organised so it's easy to go clearly where we are interest to. Paragraphs are relatively short so isn't tired to reat at. Rating: - Not impressedI actually wasn't as impressed with this book as I thought I would be. I was hoping for lots of options and things to try to help out a few different behavioral issues, but found very few that sounded like they would work for my birds. Read the book cover to cover and although I loved the pictures, and learned one or two things, I was expecting many more techniques and tips. Rating:  - A MUST READ for any bird owner!!!!This is an amazing book! There are so many tips and suggestions for correcting or preventing bad behaviors in birds. The ideal time to read this would be before even bringing the parrot home, but it is a must read for all bird owners. The parrot world is evolving and new things are being learned all the time.....read it to learn!!!! Rating: - Great Learning ToolI am new to parrots and this book literally takes you by the hand and addresses whatever issue you are having. I highly recommend it.
